Answer to Question 1

C
Phenylketonuria will result in mental retardation if not diagnosed and treated from birth. Most states require testing for PKU in the neonate. If the disease is present, treatment begins at birth and lasts throughout life. Cystic fibrosis affects the exocrine glands and is not usually diagnosed until infancy. Tay-Sachs disease is not usually diagnosed until the infant is 6 months old.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E, F
Some of the benefits of mother-baby nursing for the family and newborn include fostering breast feeding; providing individualized, one-to-one care; promoting the mother's role and attachment; decreasing the incidence of cross-infection; increasing maternal self-confidence in caring for the newborn; and facilitating early establishment of biologic rhythms with flexible feeding and sleep cycles. Other benefits include increasing educational opportunities; fostering continuity of care and reduction of confusion of messages between care givers; promoting the mother's learning about her newborn and self-care capabilities; and eliminating anxiety about whether the newborn is properly cared for.
